RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #211 - Stephan Hall, Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #211, Local Option Sales Tax Fund (352), in the amount of $500,000, to recognize a Grant from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and to appropriate these funds to provide financial assistance for the Escambia County Innerarity Water and Sewer Upgrade Project.

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County's Innerarity Water and Sewer Upgrade Project plays a vital role in the health and well-being of its citizens and communities. This FDEP Grant for $500,000 will be used toward the sewer construction and a Task 2 change order requested by County Engineering.

On January 27, 2014, the Innerarity Island Development Corporation formerly filed a note of abandonment pursuant to Florida Statue 367.165 (1), and on March 21, 2014, the First Judicial Circuit Court ordered Escambia County to become the receiver of this now-abandoned water and wastewater utility system.

An Agreement in principal has been reached between Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) and Escambia County for the ECUA to accept ownership and maintenance of the water and sewer upon completion of reconstruction to bring the utility to current standards, for which initial estimates are estimated at $0.3 million for the design and $2.8 million for construction.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

This amendment will increase Fund 352 in the amount of $500,000.
